Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose to Buffalo

[LeafalCrusader]

Stinky Pete

Embarrassing efforts all around. Team is going nowhere.

 

[Gallagbi]

Crappy night. Happening a little too frequently. Team needs to learn how to get to business moreso than anything. Happy to have it happening now for some adversity before playoffs.

Goaltending is woof

 

[keonsbitterness]

Trade for Hammerhead.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I will say Buffalo defended well but the Leafs didn’t battle hard enough through it.

 

[The Kessel Run]

I’m pissed off that I stayed up to watch this. I can only imagine how the poor bastards who bought tickets to this feel.

 

[Gabriel426]

I never really seen Petr played until this season but is he always this aggressive in net? To me, he seems like he wants to catch every shot instead of just blocking/stopping the shot.
Also, his rebound control is quite bad.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

I posted the following at the end of the GDT in response to someone suggesting that “good” teams don’t lose to “bad” teams.
Florida lost 6-2 to these sabres not long ago and lost to Columbus last week right after we did. Every team has stinkers
Tampa lost 5-1 to the ducks recently and two months ago, got shut out by the Sens & Sabres earlier on in the year.
Carolina lost to detroit last night, got beat by the Sens a few weeks ago, got a 7 spot put up on them vs Jersey and got shut out 6-0 by Columbus in mid January. They’ve also lost to the kraken, flyer and Sens again.
The Avs have been beat by Columbus twice, the Sens, Arizona and Dallas like three times who are middling at best.
I get it, it sucks living through in the moment and sucks to watch but bad teams beat good teams often enough in hockey you can’t sweat it

I think problem is it's way too close to the Habs loss. They deserve to get roasted a bit for this.

Mrazek sucks

 

[stickty111]

Well there's your stinker. Honestly it was expected. The first pair was a mess. Mrazek with a chance to run with it fell flat. Bad coaching adds up to this game.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

So much wasted cap, Tavares, Campbell,Mrazek, Nylander, Spezza, Simmonds, Kerfoot. Over 27 million dollars of uselessness.

 

[WatchOut]

Our d can't clear the front of the nets, willy doesn't want to forecheck (he doesn't even try if he thinks hes too far from the puck). Still gonna cheer for them to win in the playoffs but the team can't play a heavy style and honestly if things don't change. They will not win the first round, if everyone doesn't buy in we aren't going anywhere.

 

[theTTC]

Hahaha Booed off the ice by the first big crowd.

 

[Scion]

At least we are going to have a new management group next year.

 

[mikeyz]

Worst game of the year?

No. That 7-1 loss to the AHL Penguins was the worst.

This was definitely #2 though.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Idiot Ken Reid on SN central bringing up goaltending being an issue when the fact is the team scored one fookin goal tonight and the D left Petr out on his own way too often. Not suggesting mrazek is some kind of martyr but holy shit the entire team sucked.

 

[Coachcorner]

Hahaha Booed off the ice by the first big crowd.

We to reward them yeah sire................................... and in what way. Oh my goodness. Not even a close game.

Always been awkward, scrambly and streaky

 

[GQS]

How is it that this team is capable of beating some of the best teams in the league and then lose embarassing games to the likes of the Sabres and Habs?

 

[saffronleaf]

Leafs need MAF

 

[aingefan]

Terribad, horribad.
I really wanted Mraz to have a good game to just have a couple days of hush about it.
Ah well, on to the next.

 

[Puckstuff]

- The Mrazek signing was a massive mistake. Many of us said it.
- Keefe adapts way too late. 2nd and 4th line needed to be changed 5 games ago.
- Need a top 6 winger and a goalie BAD. Must find a way to get a goalie.
- Call up Joey Anderson and boot Simmonds/Spezza.

 

[IronHalen]

If we arent getting a legit starter then just sell at the deadline. It's getting to be embarrassing how shit the goaltending has been for so long. The beginning of the year is looking like an anomaly now.

edit: getting to be may be an understatement.. its been embarrassing for a long time.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Also glad they were booed off the ice. First full attendance in months and that’s the performance you give? f*** outta here.

 

[CelticDruid]

Tavares looks like he has severe upper, middle, and lower body injuries

He looks like he is skating with one of his nuts tied to each ankle.
